Sue is just brilliant. I made an off-hand comment about there still being grey in my hair at the end of the haircut, so Sue spent another five minutes giving it more body and texture. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

This has to be one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I've just finished 6 months of chemotherapy: I lost about 70% of my hair and the remnants looked wispy and were a constant reminder of a difficult time. I knew I needed it to be cut short but was dreading it. Sue gave me an appointment at a quiet time so that I had privacy and felt very covid-secure after shielding for so many months. She listened to me, gave me gentle advice about the hair and we agreed on a pixie cut which I am absolutely thrilled with. Sue's skilful styling worked both for the remaining old hair and the fluffy post-chemo regrowth, and it's easy to maintain. She has helped me regain so much confidence and I am so grateful.

I’ve been coming to see Ivea since early 2019 and she is an amazing hairstylist.
She always remembers the small details and consistently puts me at ease.
Thanks to her guidance and support regarding my post-COVID hair loss my hair is finally back on track.
Ivea is the perfect mix of personable and professional- I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair.
Cut and colour is spot on and she always takes time to finish my hair with the perfect blow dry!

I love that when Sue or Ieva colour my hair they make it look so natural and in Mark have found someone who can manage my curly hair and cut it in a way where I actually feel stylish that lasts way beyond walking out of the salon. Down to earth, relaxed vibe in the salon with the best late 80s early 90s playlists. No fancy shmancy stuff and good WiFi so you can do bits of work if you need to while you wait for your colour to fix.

I have been going to Bibas for many years and can’t recommend it enough. Sue is such a thoughtful stylist. She listens to what I want from my hair appointment, she’s flexible and takes time to discuss it and even after many years she manages to cut my hair with creativity and care and to continue to be interested in what I’m going for. Recently she introduced me to two Aveda products that are nothing short of revolutionary in terms of deep conditioning and health for my hair. Thank you Sue.

I regularly visit Bibas and have always found them to be helpful when I am thinking of restyling my hair with plenty of ideas to explore colour and style.
On my latest visit, Leva did my colour and Mark did my cut and blow dry.
There is a wide range of products available and I receive great advice for what the best products would be for my type of hair.
There is a great atmosphere with all types of music playing so it is a lovely place to relax during treatment.
I would absolutely recommend Bibas Hair & Beauty; Mark, Sue, Leva & Angela are all very welcoming and friendly people.
